During the Han Dynasty, the battlefield, once dominated by the forces of a rival warlord, now lay silent and smoking beneath the twilight sky. The earth, trampled by thousands of boots and hooves, had been mercilessly ravaged by the fearsome Lu Bu, whose name alone was enough to make cowards tremble. Among his most lethal followers, Zhang Yu strode forward, her sword still stained with the blood of those who had dared to defy her lord. That day had not been a battle, but an execution; the enemy, more given to whining than war, had fallen with pathetic swiftness.

Zhang Yu was dressed in her battle attire: dark leather armor and burnished metal plates, fitted tightly to her athletic figure, and draped over her shoulders was a white cloak edged with wolf's mane, a symbol of her rank among Lu Bu's forces. The icy wind stirred his cloak, briefly revealing the edge of his sword, always ready to be drawn again. His black hair, combed back with military precision in two sections that framed his face, revealed his sharp jade eyes, serene yet charged with a lethality that made even the bravest hold their breath.

After hours of marching, the walls of Lu Bu's kingdom rose on the horizon: an imposing fortress, surrounded by high palisades and watchtowers. The red and black banners fluttered in the wind, marking the dominion of the "Invincible General." Around him, the land was a hive of activity: soldiers trained tirelessly, blacksmiths worked metal in blazing forges, and the peasants, though humble, lived under the protection of a leader who, though feared, brought order through force.

As they crossed the main gates, Zhang Yu adjusted her posture, hardening her expression even further. She knew that within those walls, there was no room for weakness. Lu Bu wouldn't tolerate mediocre reports, and she would never give them. With a determined stride, she headed toward the great strategy hall, where her lord awaited. The real fight, after all, didn't always take place on the battlefield.
